Please, please, PLEASE...can we trade you Obama for Key? John Key just gave me real hope...we have a diabolical Illuminati puppet pretending to run our country, and you have a real human being running yours. Cheers to all of you Kiwis!

What a loser. I cringe every time John Key opens his mouth to say anything, let alone attempt to sing.....I am embarrassed for New Zealand that we have elected such a leader who shows his political naivety at every opportunity he can. We need Politicians to be Politicians not Bankers pretending to be Politicians...enough said.

John who??????????

Stephanie # 87...I can assure you that this is 100% NOT a tax funded trip. John Key is worth in excess of $50M and has a Beach House (small Castle) in Hawaii which he flies his family to every year (on his own money). I can assure that a christmas holiday on the taxpayer would be political suicide!! Even 'down with the peeps - JK" is not THAT dumb!

Just to Glenn who called everyone "morons",We pretty smart pple,I am in Hawaii as well in my holiday home,but kiwis are upset coz of unfinished business. Mr Key is likeable,but he is not clear on policies.He stumbles a lot.PPle need clarity to plan ahead and to see major issues being properly addressed. Likeable people can lose support for being to "soft" and "clinchinching to their "I wanna be liked attitude".

Wow! So many grinches on this post. Here's how I see it. We have a Prime Minister who is as down to earth and laid back as most NZ'ers. He wants people to see that he is, mostly, just like them. Not afraid to let his hair down, have a joke, sing a song, get in the christmas spirit and generally enjoy living in and with New Zealanders. He does not have a rod shoved up his back, like our last PM, and he knows how to smile and be honest with the average Joe on the street. And yet there are those morons who would see the opportunity to put the slipper into him just because he is a man of the people and enjoys being himself and not a political robot like those who have come and gone before him. To all the knockers on this post...get a life you idiots. Enjoy the fact that we are in a festive part of the year and that we can all relax knowing that the country is in good hands while we are all getting plastered this festive break. Keep up the GREAT work JK and enjoy the tax payer paid holiday that you so richly deserve for all of your hard work thus far. I am happy to contribute a couple of cents towards your fares and accommodation. In my mind you have earned it. Merry Christmas to all, even the grinches!

We don`t even realise it`s xmas coz we r struggling to make ends meet.It seems Mr Key has got his all sassed out.

Yet another Tax Payer Funded Trip, This Time Hawaii, Surprise Surprise

Those people winging about John Key not being serious enough...get a life! He's on The Edge morning show during the Christmas period. I think he did very well and was entertaining. We need a leader that will show us how to relax a bit!

JK's winner - no doubt in my mind. We may have had a depressing year in business, been bled dry by the IRD and been ripped by the banks, but with John Key for PM we're all winners. He's awesome! What an inspration!
